it makes some sense for afghanistan to be getting in the good graces of china. but the bottom line here is that china's buying up any available oil around the world. they have a growth rate several times faster than the u.s. growth rate and in fact over the last decade u.s. oil consumption has been decreasing while finding more sources of oil. so this is actually a common occurrence around the world. there will be other options the u.s. will bid on them and i'm sure they'll get their fair share as well. >> bottom line, client na offered a better deal, capitalism at its best. what do you have coming up tonight? >> i don't know if you know this, a world leader dies "outfront" likes to pay tribute to put a package together to celebrate the achievements of a leader's life. tonight's honorary's kim jong-il. he invented the hamburger, took his first steps at age 3 weeks, wrote 1500 books in 3 years because it comes from the official north korean news service. on a serious note, we'll be talking with governor bill richardson who spent a lot of time in north korea he ha

first they were saying this was only being conducted on the afghanistan side of the border. it was strictly looking for insurgents, nothing to do with spying. now these u.s. officials are saying, no, it definitely was spying. but as to something john mccain just mentioned, i've spoken to several former military officials and aviation experts, they say, yes, this drone is probably one of the most sophisticated drones out there but it's not the most advanced stealth technology and they say the u.s. has some new technology coming online in the next year or so that will probably make this outdated. >> and, chris, what about these reports that iran essentially used technology to hijack the drone? >> yeah, the "christian science monitor" spoke with an iranian engineer who says iran hacked into the gps signal and guided the drone down, basically tricked the drone into landing in iran when it thought it was landing at its landing site in afghanistan. now the chairman of the house intelligence committee, mike rogers, has said that's just not true. he says this was a technical problem
